The heading has nothing to do with last nights meeting of the Rifle Royal Arch Chapter at Lodge Waverley , but with the continuing tram works.
Sparky and I made it to Easter Road last night where we met up with Grant, Alex, Andy Alan Bert and Ian from RA 500, along with members of Esk 42 led by their worthy commander in chief, First Principal John Wright.
Meeting took place and at the finish Alan Black was made an honorary member of the Chapter , a fine honour to bestowed on anyone, and in recognition of his assistance to that Chapter.
Bit of a muddle so we were not able to get the photos as originally planned, and with an early rise, long day ahead i left early.
Saturday , awake at 3 a.m. - once again a very restless night and having had only orange and soda to drink in the past two days, there, perhaps is the problem !!
Into town on the motorbike, lovely morning - then it was non stop right through till 2,30 p.,m. when I left , just a constant stream of customers, from all airts and pairts, Italy, England, Ireland and Wales, so even with four in the kitchen at one stage of the day it was still hectic. BUT , they were also preparing for the special dinner tonight , which i am looking forward to having had an advance peek at the menu.
BUT THE REAL SHAMBLES was outside where the tram works people have now closed off Grosvenor Crescent which was a diversion, now everything is trying to get through from Haymarket in a single file !! total nonsense, Monday morning will be real fun, and with three busy rugby weekends next month - chaos.
Our illustrious workers were wandering aimlessly up and down the street and certainly not a thing was done on our section which has now been open since early December 2008. They have even cancelled the link from here to Granton - now on hold due to the credit crunch. They are likely to have a man on Mars before they finish this job. Spotted the latest "recruit" to the Tramworks team , this young lad was kitted out like one of the workers and was being shown the working, had the the same habits, stood with hands behind his back peering into the holes. Not sure why he was there but probably one of the usual PR jobs. Just happened that Ian, one of our daily clients was sitting in the bus shelter with his cup f coffee when I took the photo - he is a professional pianist who plays most nights at the Peebles Hydro hotel.
Headed home, for a wee rest , and have found a superb booklet "The Bridges of The Edinburgh and Roslin Railway" by Andrew S. Stewart, who was one of my former bosses and a friends. He must have popped it through the door this morning.
